Side by Side is all about perspective—putting two worlds in conversation and letting the glass do the talking. In this tasting, we’ll explore how the same grape can tell completely different stories depending on where it’s grown, who’s farming it, and the traditions that shaped it. Old World wines bring centuries of heritage, structure, and a sense of place etched into every bottle. Their New World counterparts answer with boldness, sunshine, and a freedom to reinterpret classic styles without the weight of history.
Guiding us through this journey is our friend Kevin Pelley of Reyes Beverage Group, whose deep knowledge and easygoing style make even the most nuanced comparisons feel approachable and fun. With Kevin leading the way, we’ll taste each pair side by side, uncovering the contrasts, connections, and surprises that emerge when two expressions of the same idea meet in the glass. It’s a chance to discover your own preferences in real time—one duo at a time.
